Chapter 752: Chapter 752: This Beast is Not That Beast

Daylight came quickly, and after resting for an hour, everyone began the second round of attracting monsters.

This time, they first placed the sound-making prop on the eighth floor; Peng Fengnian and Lin Zhenhuai took positions at opposite ends, one observing the situation in the rooms around the corridor and the other waiting at the stairwell.

The others scattered, hiding in different rooms, with two more on the tenth and sixth floors.

After Miss Gao activated the prop, the rhythmic "thud thud" of knocking echoed through the corridors. Within seconds, a beast’s roar rose from the floors below!

"How could this be!"

The expressions of everyone present changed slightly. The monster had vanished on the eighth floor, and if there was a passage on or near the eighth floor, it should have appeared nearby. How could it possibly be below, sounding as if it were between the third and fourth floors?

Xu Huo was the first to react, grabbing the guitar string to jump downstairs; he flipped into a room from the fifth floor’s window. When he emerged, he only had time to glimpse a shadow darting through the stairwell. It was a mere instant, but it was enough for him to see the monster’s form clearly—the burnt hair seemed to have regrown and the skin that had been shocked by electricity was also completely restored, not to mention the external wounds.

He didn’t chase the monster upstairs. Instead, he went down to the fourth floor, opening his Spiritual World to search for possible spatial passages. However, before he even got halfway through, Lin Zhenhuai also came down, holding a prop capable of detecting spatial fluctuations.

Based on the traces left on the ground, Xu Huo had already inspected the places where the monster was most likely to have emerged. Before Lin Zhenhuai arrived, he closed his Spiritual World.

Lin Zhenhuai found him, frowning, "Strange, the space seemed to fluctuate just now."

"Where exactly?" Xu Huo asked.

"Somewhere nearby," Lin Zhenhuai said, wielding the prop that resembled a metal detector and adjusting its direction, "and now it’s gone."

Xu Huo’s heart sank slightly. If he hadn’t found it when he came down, then what the prop sensed was probably his own Mental Space, meaning that, even if a spatial passage did exist, the monster’s presence was just a fleeting moment, not long enough for them to react.

After Lin Zhenhuai’s fruitless search, he looked towards Xu Huo, "Let’s go back up and help."

Xu Huo nodded, and the two returned to the eighth floor.

The monster had already demolished several rooms; Yu Guangnan and Gao Xiaoyue suffered minor injuries, and Xiao Ling’s toy car was directly crushed, almost costing her her life. Fortunately, Sun Bo was nearby and pulled her to safety.

However, the monster, after a brief rest, fought as if it had been fully revived, its combat style more brutal than before. It did not care what was in front of it—walls, doors, or anything in the rooms. Anything that appeared in front of it was destroyed without a second thought!

"The difference between our one-hour rest and its one-hour rest is too big!" Peng Fengnian yelled.

"This is not the same one at all!" Xu Huo tossed aside the remote control in his hand, fixed the "Harmless Whip" onto the door frame, and nodded towards Lin Zhenhuai.

Lin Zhenhuai signaled his understanding and with a powerful punch at the monster’s cheek, he quickly ran towards Xu Huo’s direction.

The monster, which had just been chasing Xiao Ling and Sun Bo, swiftly turned around. As Lin Zhenhuai slid towards Xu Huo, he passed under the "Harmless Whip," while Xu Huo also stepped back, his fingers twitching slightly. The thin thread-like tool immediately transformed into a blade—with no need for him to exert force, the monster itself would be split in half if it applied too much strength!

Just when everyone was ready to watch the creature be split in two, the rampaging monster abruptly halted in front of the blade, its eyes shifted to the side, and it tore through the wall. The taut thread instantly slackened, and the monster seized the opportunity to pounce fiercely towards Xu Huo, who was nearby!

"Ding!" The sound of a lighter echoed again. As Xu Huo retreated, the monster’s body burst into flames once more. Immediately after, an electrified net covered it, and several syringes shot through the gaps of the net into its body.

Not knowing whether it was immune to poison and anesthetics, its backside nearly transformed into a porcupine, yet the monster continued to struggle within the net. It stumbled into the adjacent room and barged into the washroom, after which the sound of running water followed—it had torn open the water pipes in the washroom!

A deluge of water gushed from the washroom into the room. The monster, now free from the net and the fire extinguished, emerged from behind the door, glaring menacingly at all the players gathered outside the room!

"This is bad... Let’s go!" Before Lin Zhenhuai finished speaking, the monster smashed through the wall beside it, hurling chunks of brick around like bullets, some large enough to penetrate a wall!

"Quick, get into the room!" Peng Fengnian at last opened a room that was intact. Yet, before he could step in, the monster burst through the wall on the side and leaped at him, covered in a cloud of dust and debris!

A thin line lodged in his back, and with a tug, it yanked him away from the doorway!

Turning to see the line in Xu Huo’s hand, Peng Fengnian quickly thanked him. Xu Huo sped up to the front of the group to set him down and said, "Didn’t you see that thing’s hungry belly? Let’s get away first and talk later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already jumped out the window and while suspended in midair he said to the others, "If you can escape, meet at our usual spot."

He might have disappeared through the window, but the other players were not so easily freed. The Level D Players were fast, but the monster was even faster. Not to mention it could demolish whole walls as it ran. The players could only flee from room to room in terror to survive.

"Damn, why are you bringing it my way!" Xiao Ling had already taken refuge in a room, only to turn around and see Gao Xiaoyue luring the monster toward her!

"Don’t blame me, I had nowhere else to run!" Gao Xiaoyue leaped up from the center of the room, stood upside down on the ceiling, and in a diving stance, she flew straight out of the window, leaving Xiao Ling alone to face the monster.

Even if she jumped out now, she would become the monster’s primary target. One-on-one in the open, she had no chance of winning. Xiao Ling turned her head and her climbing rope flew directly at Sun Bo, who had just reached another room near the window!

Sun Bo had one foot over the windowsill when the rope snagged him and pulled him back. The tool’s rope exerted force from the center, automatically drawing the ends towards the middle, which meant he and Xiao Ling were getting closer together, and naturally closer to the monster as well.

"Eye-catching Flying Knife!" Peng Fengnian arrived behind Xiao Ling and threw a small knife, no longer than a finger, at the monster—it was a desperate attempt, but to his surprise, the monster’s attention was diverted. He quickly turned back and shouted to Sun Bo and Xiao Ling, "Move fast... "

Unfortunately, before he could finish, a foul wind engulfed him. At such a short distance, it was too late for Peng Fengnian to escape. Luckily, Lin Zhenhuai acted promptly, placing a Flying Shield steadily in front of him. It not only intercepted the monster’s claw but also rebounded with force, pushing it back into the room it came from!

Now’s the chance!
